Behind the Wheel: 2017 Buick Lacrosse Review

The newest edition of the Buick Lacrosse in no longer a veiled and speculated upon concept, because now it’s here. Replacing some of the more humdrum models of the past, the new 2017 Buick Lacrosse introduces a variety of new features and aesthetic improvements that makes this new model alluring to both car enthusiasts and consumers alike.

Buick’s most comfortable sedan gets a complete frame design reboot as the new Lacrosse platform is a sculpted stretch from the latest Chevrolet Malibu’s. The overall dimensions of the vehicle are about the same as they were in its Lacrosse predecessors, but curbweights are allegedly around 300 lbs. lighter.

The Lacrosse’s single engine option has been upgraded as well, and is equipped with GM’s newest 3.6-liter V6 engine, which rakes in around 310 HP. It is important to note also that the new engine is an eight-speed automatic transmission.

The 2017 Buick Lacrosse bolsters an impressive luxury interior. New front leather seats replace previous leatherette material, the upholstery and stitching has been significantly altered for the better. Some claim that the faux-trim material installed within the interior of the new Lacrosse diminishes its classification as a luxury vehicle, but this is not necessarily the case. While the interior of the vehicle may compare to some of the luxury models produced by auto manufacturers Acura and Lincoln, the Buick’s smooth driving capabilities and comfortable spacing within the interior makes the 2017 Buick Lacrosse a standout.

In terms of pricing, the latest Lacrosse comes in at around typical near-luxury vehicle price, beginning around $32,000 and capping off at around $44,000, price varying depending on the package you choose and other options.

Another aspect of the Lacrosse that makes it a feature model is its fuel economy and AWD capabilities. The Lacrosse carries fuel economy estimates of about 20-21 city and 29-31 highway MPG, which is still somewhat impressive for a more compact luxury sedan.

All at a comfortable price range, the 2017 Lacrosse promises its driver’s a memorable and comfortable riding experience, whether you are riding on the highway or in a terrain requiring the vehicles all-wheel-drive capabilities which can be activated at the flip of a switch. Smooth, lavish exterior paint colors of blue, red, and silver highlight the vehicle’s classy rims and tires, while the new Buick “tri-shield” insignia lays claim on grille and trunk to the Lacrosse’s exceptionally charming appearance and design.
